How Can Leg Ache At Night Be Treated?

My left leg bothers me at night. I try not to sleep on left side because that seems to make it ache more. There is no redness and pain on touch. Doctor thought it was bursitis and put an injection in. It was much better for a month. Now after riding for awhile in car and touring factory walking on cement, pain is back. After sitting for awhile I have trouble and limp for a few steps when starting to walk. What else can I try?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Where is the exact pain? Left leg pain may be due to bursitis or arthritis or tendinitis, etc. You may need to take X-ray of left leg concerning part of involvement. You may use pain killer medication, antioxidant, and cold and warm compression are also useful. Take rest, if symptoms not improved please consult your orthopedician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
